How many spiritual dimensions are there?

In response to this predicament, Hick contends that we need to be aware of the spiritual realm, “the fifth dimension” (the other four being three dimensions of space and one dimension of time). Hick's epistemological framework has three levels of interpretation (physical, moral, and religious).

• 11 spiritual dimensions

  Radiance Partners identifies 11 spiritual dimensions: purpose, presence, gratitude, intention, authenticity, compassion, empathy, courage, trust, forgiveness, and love. 

   
• Five spiritual factors

  The Center for Mind and Culture's Dimensions of Spirituality Project found five spiritual factors: morality-based, ritual-based, mystical, kinesthetic, and aesthetic. 

   
• Sixth dimension

  Some spiritual teachings believe that the sixth dimension is a state of oneness with "God". In this dimension, a spirit or being can live without a physical body. 

   
• Fifth dimension

  Hick contends that the spiritual realm is the fifth dimension, in addition to the three dimensions of space and the dimension of time. 

   
• Seven realms

  According to Khorshed Bhavnagri's book, Laws of Spirit World, the spirit world has seven realms, with Hell being the lowest and Heaven being the highest.
